I don't dream high, I dream deep
*/from the perspective of a good friend/* How I wish my legs Could grow some scales and turn into a tail I would swim into the deepest, farthest undiscovered part of the unknown ocean And stay there Swimming incessantly Where it is preferable to feel the strong Crushing current Than to feel the pressure of living in the surface Where I would roam in the dark channels of the ocean Instead of living in the gloom of the earth Deep down, I would follow the current And fly through the waters Where it is much better to be swallowed By huge waves rather than being crushed In everyday battles On the surface Deep down, I'll create endless adventures On the wide, wide ocean floor I would dive fearlessly into trenches Soaring deep as mountains I'll be eating planktons And seaweeds And pearls and not those hurtful things Abundant in the world And how I wish there could be somehow, Seaweed once eaten, Could erase memories Even if my memories all consists of planktons And seaweeds And pearls And clams And so I'll consume the seaweed everyday So that everyday will be new And my adventures will always be through And that it all could be endless, And as free As the ocean One where I wouldn't drown --- But one where I could breathe

It sounds like a total nightmare to me, dreaming deep, no legs but a tale, but I love this poem and hope more will read it. @charmingcherry08, @Clarissa_KG, @esciisc, @gerl, @Hanzell, @heartbeat1515, @Jane, @Jdine, @lioness777, @marblely, @Mehedi01, @psychie, @Purplesky, @Urmeelaurmee122, @Xzeon, @esciisc
Thank you so much. 😊
So deep. Great comeback piece 👌
Thanks siz 😁❤ it's good to be back!
If someone will took the words literally, it would be good to just live deep down in the water to run away from all the stress and distressing happenings in this world, but if you think about it, it's not safe down there either of you think about the hungry predators and it would be stressful thinking about it too. I guess, we can't really avoid stress lol. Well, I'm just stating an opinion. Nice piece by the way, I enjoyed it. Thanks for the mention @wakeupkitty.
